Children Aren’t Failing to Learn to Read - They’re Stopping Reading, New Whitepaper Reveals
England has made real gains in teaching children to decode, so why do reading standards stall by the end of primary school? A new whitepaper from Auris Tech argues the problem isn't instruction, it's engagement. Drawing on data from over 5,000 pupils in the National Read-Aloud Challenge, it shows how ASR-enabled reading aloud can rebuild the reading miles children need to keep progressing.
Why Auris Tech Commissioned its White Paper on ASR
Over a quarter of children leave primary school without reaching the expected reading standard, and reading scores have stagnated in international studies for 25 years. This piece explains why Auris Tech commissioned its white paper on reading aloud using Automatic Speech Recognition, what the National Read Aloud Challenge data revealed across 250,000 reading sessions, and who should be reading the findings.
